The shock you have in mind is a great choice.

Please do not listen to the idiot saying get D2's, those coilovers and other that look exactly like them are junk. Oh and D2's have been known to break, bend and other sorts of things.

Personaly I would look towards a H&R sport springs, or Eibach sport lines. There is also Tein S techs or for a milder drop there is the H tech.

I like the eibach springs, but the others are great aswell.

Yea,,, it can get pricy. But it is better to spend the money on quality parts the first time.
